You are now the Jerk Rival for the next set of Pokemon games. How will your story play out and most importantly, how much of a jerk do you plan to be towards the main protagonists?

Pull out the DND rantagonist actions list. There's got to be one somewhere.

Be in disguise in the crowd. Walk up behind the protag. Hit him in the face with a pie. You escape by Pidgy Lift while his companions laugh at him.
Have a watcher app that lets me know what region he's in. Or what Pokecenter, if possible. Have your pokemon steal all his stuff. Replace it with thrift store prom dresses.
Hire lookalike of girl companion to break up loudly with him in a restaurant.
Question if I should Join Team Rocket. Let's face it, there's nothing lower than that.
And of course, beat him in the Pokemon Championship because winning is forbidden.

Obviously pick starter strong against the MC. Also, I remember to pack 5 potions before I get to the lab.
Make sure I'm ahead at every step, spray paint "ANON WUZ HERE" onto every gym, camp outside the Pokemon center or the end of a treacherous cave or forest, etc.
Sneak up on the MC at night and steal his items, especially his HMs. Also pour water on his Pokeball so the push function gets gummed up.
Hide in the shadows while he battles other trainers and then cteam him, also load up on Revives, X Items, etc. One of the battles I also bring a stall team and Funbro to ensure the battle lasts for days.
Join the evil team, obviously, and just before the big bad guy awakens the legendary I make sure to grab it for myself. Won't use it to recreate the universe or whatever, I just want it so I can crush him even harder.
Sabotage the Hall of Fame machine so even if he beats me he won't be able to be recognized as the League Champion.

I'll start off as a friendly rival, but after losing three times at the beginning and watching everyone praise the mc, I'll become so bitter that I'll turn into a jerk rival. I'll cheat to get ahead by sabotaging the battlefield, blocking the pathways and pokecenters so that you won't progress, and lastly try to rush after the legendary pokemon myself. Only after having a heart-to-heart with the Champion and losing to you after you've defeated the big bad of the game, will I have a change of heart.

I'd say I'd be incredibly calculated, such that I'm mathematically superior to the protag in everyway and always have the objectively perfect strat, and then lord it over the protag.
However somewhere down the line this backfires as I end up being predictable and it turns out I'm actually shit at thinking outside of my very rigid view on strategy.
Team isn't set in stone and every play through my team is slowly constructed and optimized to perfectly counter the team the protag beat me with in the previous battle.
Everytime I lose I spew bullshit about how I know exactly what i did wrong and how to fix it and this somehow means I didn't actually lose
By the end I recognize the flaw in my outlook, but instead randomly being a good person, I'm instead mildly resentful against the protag for being better, and am essentially a sore loser even if i can now admit my inferiority
Maybe in post game battles I slowly stop being a bitch
Thoughts?

I'm not so sure about the story but I like a rival that forces you to improve.
>know obvious shit like type effectiveness/switching
>not use complete shitmons, especially since were both trying to be champs

I would keep calling the make MC a faggot who needs to stop being a pussy ass loser bitch. Work the female MC I would flirt with and keep telling her she's a cutie who should go out with me if she loses. In the last rival battle against the female MC I use lvl 100s.

But I hated two of those faggots.
Silver was "Daddy Issues: The Rival". His daddy Giovanni didn't hug him enough as a child.
And Bede was a mentally weak homo. Got mindbroken and feminized by an old lady.

Blue was alright tho. He was just a cocky brat who felt superior to others. And this skilled trainer had the talent to back up that big ego. Even became Champion.

If I had to be a Jerk Rival myself, I would probably be like Cross. Seeking power at any costs and shitting on any weak pokemon and trainers I see. In the I Choose You movie, Cross and Incineroar didn't bond over friendship and love. They bonded because they both desired power and wanted to ruthlessly crush the competition.

Start off really nice and pick the weaker starter, but box it and become a smogon shitter after losing the initial starter battle. illegal, broken strats and stall only to the point where the protag CANNOT win without slamming their head against my walls, and then after they lose 3 times I say "Ah well, looks like you're to weak and can't give me a challenge" and let them pass me for free, but I just stand there as they walk by, rejecting them with the same repetitive "Get lost, weakling" message. borderline abusively tout that my battling skill is so much better than the protag and their shitty friends that I don't even have to fucking try.

My character arc is that its painfully obvious that I don't enjoy battling this way and I'm only doing this because my gifted child complex has been triggered and I can't cope. As the game progresses my team compositions become less bullshit, but the battles become more intense and enjoyable. I make it to the e4 and become champ (my starter is back by this point), but then job because the protag uses the UBER/AG-tier box legendary that I didn't get. During the postgame I get possessed by the third legendary and revert to my broken strats with a more fun team, and that's how I stay into the postgame having found a happy medium between having fun and being the second coming of cynthia, who was my main inspiration to use broken strats. Every after-story rematch with me is challenging and the level/AI of my team scales to the strongest pokemon in your party. Instant best asshole rival.

here goes...

i love the concept of the "friendly asshole." sure he's your friend. but he won't hesitate to tease you when an opportunity arises. he'll say "you just got a bit lucky" & when you ask him if he's come to give you seven free max revives he'll just laugh at you. in the end he's still your friend & he'll have your back when fighting against Team _____.

Meet up with the trainer in the first town, rather than being a trainer just starting out I'd be someone who's already been on my journey for a while. As such my team is much more overleveled than the protagonist and if they choose to battle me they'll more than likely lose. And I'll lord the victory over them and tell them to give up. However between battles it becomes more and more apparent that I've gotten too prideful because my team will only increase by a few levels each battle and it won't be long until the hero will naturally surpass me in terms of level. I'll desperately try lots of different strategies to regain the upper hand, most of which aren't actually very good causing me to reevaluate everything and go the the region's Victory Road to train. Before the trainer goes to the elite 4 I stand between them with my team I've leveled up and trained with nothing but hard work. And if I lose that final battle I finally acknowledge the protagonist was the better trainer all along. Probably commit myself to working harder to challenge him one day, since I have full confidence in him becoming the new champion.

As a rival I would commit suicide after losing several times to the PC. These themes of guilt on the player's part have not been explored in the franchise and I don't see why
